Charleston Farmhouse is a favourite of mine with its painted doors and handmade furnishings. I was so inspired I went on to read everything I could about this unusual group who lived, loved, worked and met up there. The dusky comfortable rooms invited me to sit and read. The circular dining table invited me to supper. Duncan Grant’s studio, full of light, easels and canvasses, invited me to paint and sculpt. The garden was waiting for me to pull up a deckchair then get busy with a trowel. I was there at the end of the day, at the end of Summer, the place was mine.

If Rob’s work appeals and you want the ideal setting to see it, Charleston is the place.
